7fe88677addocs/stateless-lifecycle.md walks the revision end to end - per-request _meta, server/discover, multi round-trip requests, caching and subscriptions - and a runnable example on each side shows what that looks like in code. CI matrixes both conformance roles over both revisions. --spec-version is cumulative across the dated revisions, so 2025-11-25 covers the two before it; 2026-07-28 is not cumulative with them and needs its own run against its own baseline. The runner is pinned so a PR only goes red for reasons in the PR, and conformance-weekly tracks the moving target instead - on both revisions, since the draft scenarios ship only on the alpha dist-tag. The Inspector cannot reach a modern-lifecycle server (it opens with initialize), so the example is covered by integration tests instead: one drives it with hand-built HTTP the way a conforming client would, one drives it with this SDK's client, and one drives the single endpoint from both eras. |

Client Examples
These examples demonstrate how to use the MCP PHP Client SDK.
STDIO Client
Connects to an MCP server running as a child process:
php examples/client/stdio_discovery_calculator.php
HTTP Client
Connects to an MCP server over HTTP:
# First, start an HTTP server
php -S localhost:8000 examples/server/discovery-calculator/server.php
# Then run the client
php examples/client/http_discovery_calculator.php
Modern-era client (2026-07-28)
Speaks the stateless lifecycle: no initialize, a _meta envelope and SEP-2243 headers on every
request, and multi round-trip calls answered by the client without the caller noticing.
# First, start the matching server
php -S 127.0.0.1:8000 examples/server/stateless-lifecycle/server.php
# Then run the client
php examples/client/stateless_lifecycle_client.php
Requirements
All examples require the server examples to be available. The STDIO examples spawn the server process, while the HTTP examples connect to a running HTTP server.
